12″ (250mm) Foam Swab for 10″ pipe

The Foam Swab is engineered as a precision cleaning tool, featuring a soft, durable foam tip securely attached to a rigid handle. It is specifically designed for gentle yet effective cleaning of sensitive surfaces, delicate components, and hard-to-reach areas without causing scratches or damage.

Key Features:

Purpose: Designed for environmental surveillance of pathogens in sewage, offering higher detection efficiency than conventional grab sampling methods.
Construction: Manufactured using high-quality cotton gauze folded into a thick multi-ply pad and securely tied with durable string or wire.
Application: Deployed in flowing sewage for several hours, allowing effective accumulation of microorganisms on the swab material.
Sample Handling: After retrieval, the swab is placed in a sterile, temperature-controlled container for safe transport to the laboratory.
Laboratory Processing: The collected swab is compressed to extract the trapped fluid, which is then analyzed for pathogen detection.
Material Variants: Standard cotton gauze is used; cheesecloth options are available upon requirement.
Alternative Solutions: Specialized sampling sponges can be used for larger surface or area sampling applications.

Widely used across electronics, medical, and industrial applications, foam swabs are ideal for removing dust, dirt, grease, and residues while ensuring minimal particle generation. Available in various sizes and shapes, they offer a versatile solution for maintaining cleanliness in critical environments.

Installation Steps

Select the appropriate foam swab size and shape based on the cleaning or application requirement.
Ensure the surface or equipment area is accessible and free from loose debris.
If applying a solution, dip the foam head into the cleaning agent or liquid as required.
Gently wipe, clean, or apply the solution using smooth and controlled motions.
Use multiple swabs if working with sensitive or sterile environments to avoid cross-contamination.
Dispose of used swabs properly, especially in medical or laboratory applications.
Allow the cleaned surface to dry or proceed with the next step in your maintenance procedure.

Common Applications

The Foam Swab is a high-performance cleaning implement designed for precision tasks where contamination control is essential. Its closed-cell foam head provides excellent absorption and uniform application of liquids, making it suitable for detailed cleaning and solution spreading. The swab’s sturdy handle ensures accurate maneuverability, allowing users to reach confined or delicate areas with ease.
Commonly utilized in laboratories, optical maintenance, manufacturing environments, and healthcare settings, foam swabs effectively lift particles, oils, and residues without shedding fibers. Their availability in multiple configurations ensures reliable cleaning performance for a wide range of sensitive equipment and controlled environments.
